Keynote (4:30 -5:30) Rachel Sagner Buurma and Laura Heffernan, "Collaboration + the Humanities: history, theory, practicalities"
Starting from humanists’ current responses to AI text generation technology, this talk considers how work in the digital humanities helps us to reconstruct the long history of humanists’ collaborative practices. Looking first at examples of early twentieth-century computational and quantitative research groups, we then turn to the practical shapes of our own institutionally-specific DH projects and working groups. We offer practical ideas to help you make collective work sustainable, and speculate on the future of collaboration in the digital humanities.
